my week of playing with my new toy was cut real short... on sat evening itself, after sitting and trying to pry the wood apart for hours, i decided to stand up. OUCH!!! my lower back hurt like crap. muscle pull, the whole night can't sleep well... laid in bed the whole of next day, didn't even get out to meet my friends...

by tue i was feeling much better, but another problem faced me and my new toy... it gives of a rather high pitched screeching sound the faster it goes, and i was afraid the ppl arnd me complain... yet another obstacle between my dreams of living in a forest and reality.

haven't u ever thought of how wonderful it would be if u're like living in the middle of some forest far away from busy and hectic lives of studying working? most of u prob wouldn't even entertain that thought. haha but i'm actually working to reach that goal. i'm learning as much as i can about surviving out there in the real jungle, not some crap reality tv show... but one thing i'd really hate to leave behind would be all my friends and a social life. i don't think talking to chickens and snakes everyday would make my social life as great as it is now.

the world ticks in this world. it ticks for a reason. and the reason ISN'T you. u ppl really think everything happends juz for u? well well well, think again. haha dunno why wrote that... the person its meant for prob doesn't even read my blog. haha

long long never write anything liao... today finally is another SATURDAY. that means... SCOUTS! woke up real early to go back to st. Pat's then... it started raining! how to start fire when its raining?!

sigh... even if it was not raining also i wouldn't have managed to get the fire going, i was attempting to start fire without matches. spent the most part of the wet day preparing the equipment, tested it like a full for 2hrs before being told i was doing it wrong and that i was supposed to figure out that i was doing it wrong after 30min of testing. haha, idiot i am. so reflected on what went wrong, and what could have been done better.

brought home my new "toy". spent the next half of my day making those changes and testing it out. haven't see smoke yet, but i think it improved. the wood got charred and smells cooked. YES!!! almost there. never mind, got 1 more week to test and play with my "toy" till it smokes and can start fire.

yesterday went for Ngee Ann wichita campfire. met a senior from Pajigwad, seriously senior man... he grad from St. Pat's in 1982? haha i wasn't even born yet. he's very very hilarious man, haven't laughed like i did yesterday for a very very long time. really wish he could like come back to Pajigwad and bring us back to the glory 60's-80's. felt so ashamed wearing my scout leader uniform man, i couldn't measure up to him in anyway man. haha, i didn't even know where the origins of Pajigwad was from. felt like taking the uniform off and burn it sia, but after some thought, that's not my style. now i'm motivated more to learn everything i can more about scouting although i've left St. Pat's 3yrs ago. bring back Pajigwad and be proud of its heritage and prestige. and i'll always continue to be their Sh'i Lah "Big Brother".

PAJIGWAD! "Stick to it!" i also was reminded yesterday, it's all about family. united we stand, divided we fall. if the house starts dividing, we'll go down the dumps.
